If it does turn out to be a urinary tract infection or somesuch, before starting another on prescription food, you can just try Tuppence on low-ash food. Buy cat food labeled for Urinary Tract Health (if they carry it there). Here in the States, most groceries carry it - both Purina and 9-Lives have it reasonably priced, then you go up to Pedigree or Iams, but those are more expensive. Still, if any are available, it's less expensive than getting it from your vet.
But have her checked before worrying overmuch. However, Moni was correct in that they won't necessarily quit eating, they just are uncomfortable and tend to 'go' in places they shouldn't. Tika continued to eat just fine even the day I took her to the vet for testing.
